The signs and symptoms of cavities vary, depending on their extent and location. When a cavity is just beginning, you may not have any symptoms at all. As the decay gets larger, it may cause signs and symptoms such as:

Toothache

Tooth sensitivity

Mild to sharp pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot or cold

Visible holes or pits in your teeth

Brown, black or white staining on any surface of a tooth

Pain when you bite down

When to see a dentist

You may not be aware that a cavity is forming. That's why it's important to have regular dental checkups and cleanings, even when your mouth feels fine. However, if you experience toothache or mouth pain, see your dentist as soon as possible.
